In this interesting paper, the authors extend the classical structural result about adjacency preserving bijections on complex Hermitian matrices. They produce the infinite-dimensional version, which reads as follows: Suppose that \(H\) is a complex, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, and let~\({\mathcal S}_F\) be the set of all finite-rank, self-adjoint operators on~\(H\). If a surjection \(\Phi:{\mathcal S}_F\to{\mathcal S}_F\) preserves adjacency in both directions, then it is also injective, \(\Phi(x\otimes x)=c Ax\otimes Ax \;+\;X_0\) and, moreover, \(\Phi(X)-X_0\) is linear or conjugate-linear. The results are further strengthened if~\(\Phi\) is SOT-continuous. As a consequence, the authors also classify additive Jordan isomorphisms on~\({\mathcal S}\), the set of all self-adjoint operators.
